Keep Your Ski Tips Up

Raccoon facts:A raccoon’s hands are so nimble they can unlace a shoe, unlatch a cage and easily retrieve coins as thin as dimes from your pocket.

The raccoon is recognizable by its mask and ringed tail — and is often referred to as a “masked bandit”. The mask helps vision at night by reducing glare andcamouflages the raccoon from predators.

Deer facts:A fawn (baby deer) starts taking its first steps hardly 20 minutes after being born.

Deer have a great sense of hearing and can move their ears in any direction without moving their heads.

Deer have hollow strands of hair that help them remain insulated from extreme temperatures and

even prevent them from drowning.

Bald eagle facts:The bald eagle is the national symbol of the United States.

Eagles have excellent eyesight. They can see small objects clearly from far away.

A bald eagle’s wingspan ranges from 72 to 90 inches.

Bald eagles have 7,000 feathers!

Black bear facts:Black bears can actually be black, blue-black,cinnamon brown, dark brown or even white in color.

Lean black bears are known to run at more than 45 mph – that’s faster than an Olympic sprinter!

Their sense of smell is extremely good. Their nasal area is about 100 times larger than in humans.

Did you know…There once was a lake at Silver Lake. Miners dug twotunnels to drain the lake. One tunnel was started fromthe area where Jordanelle Reservoir is now locatedand the other tunnel was started from the Silver Lakearea. The two tunnels were only six inches off whenthey met in the middle. There really was a beach here!

The lift towers at the original Snow Park ski area weremade out of aspen logs and scrap cables from theJudge Mine. They were all powered by a truck engine!

The Ontario Mine was purchased by George Hearstfor $27,000. He then took out more than $50 million in gold and silver. That’s a lot of hot chocolates!

A long time ago in the forest

Where the animals all lived and played,There came a group of old minersWho worked underground every day.

The animals quietly watched themAs they tunneled deep below,Then come out of the mines every eveningAnd trudge back home in the snow.

“They're crazy,” the Deer said to the Eagle.The Raccoon and the Bear agreed.“They work so hard to find treasures,Yet they never have learned how to ski.”

So Quincy went deep in the forestTo gather dead wood from the trees.With some measuring, twisting and breaking,He came up with long shoes he called skis.

Bucky the Deer took off running.All they could see was his tail.He stamped and he stomped all the snow on the hillAnd came up with a really long trail.

Ruby knew a bit about fashion,And decided the miners looked cold.So she dug through her lost-and-found clothingAnd came up with some outfits quite bold.

Finally Silver, the grand overseer,Looked the project over with care.She said, "We are done! Now let's have some fun!"Off they went, all excited to share.

“They are crazy!” the miners shoutedAs the animals skied into view.But hearing the animals' laughter,One said, “I want to try, too!”

The animals each showed a minerHow to bundle up and be safe.Then they strapped on the skis, made sure it was clear

And set out on their own merry way.
